Sims Big Brother (Season 8)

The eighth season of Sims Big Brother premiered on February 8, 2019 and featured 14 houseguests as they vie to be the last houseguest standing and win the $250,000 cash prize.

The season was announced on August 10, 2018 as the first of two season renewals, though the season had already been filmed the summer prior and used the casting calls for season 7 as that season featured all returning players and did not need it.

This season became the first to introduce a "reunion" episode following the conclusion of the season which is a staple in the show to this day.

The winner of season eight was Sondra after winning a 4-3 jury vote. Micheal won the Fan Favorite prize.

Set Design and Theme
For the show's eighth season, the house was given a "casino" theme. The house layout remained largely the same from previous seasons though the eviction studio, similar to season five, was moved to a bigger studio separate from the main house.

Controversy
The season was met with controversy. Houseguest Erica claimed herself as a feminist and women's rights activists but would cause stirs when she called other female houseguests various names that some viewers felt were "sl*t-shaming." The season was also controversial for other behaviors from houseguests, as viewers felt bullying was going on with various houseguests.
